Hi,
I'm the developer for BBC News Mobile the free app on the marketplace at the moment. see http://grippers.co.uk
I've been working on push notifications for breaking news and have put together the various servers and system and its nearly ready to go live to the marketplace. However, I'd really like to test it out on a smaller scale first.
Please get in touch if you would be willing to test out the app first.
//Now Closed got enough offers to run with. Thanks to all those who got in touch
//Either reply here or email info[at]grippers.co.uk
Thanks in advance,
Update 30.01
Had really great feedback from the testers I currently have on board and have a boat load of emails for others willing to test. So thanks to everyone who got in touch should get back to you with a new build soon.

Cheers
I'd love to beta-test as well. HTC HD7 in the US

I would like to test belgium
Unlocked device?
Hi
I currently use BBC News Mobile on my HTC 7 Mozart. I've even got it pinned to the start screen.
My device is not developer unlocked so I am not sure I can load the beta version onto it, but if there is a way, please let me know and I am happy to beta test it.
The two features I would like to see are live tile updates, i.e. with the number of new stories. Also, toast notifications for breaking news alerts would be good. I get the BBC News Breaking News alert emails but there are no toast notifications for emails, yet!
Cheers

Thanks for all the offers. Moving all the stuff over to Azure from my dev environment is taking a bit longer than I thought but will be getting in touch soon.
Hey man, I'd happily beta test too.
Dev unlocked Omnia7 in UK.
count me in - dev unlocked hd7 from austria
i'm in too
Developer unlocked in Holland
I'll test it as well. Developer unlocked USA. Just a side-note be careful when you publish your app you need to go strong the 7appslab guy post's under a few screen names on competing apps he did it to my CNN app. Let us know here when it is done and we can give you an honest review before he swoops in and trys to knock you down.
Amazing thank you all for the offers to help!
Just a quick note to be able to run the beta build you will need to have an unlocked phone and use toms xap installer.
I should have got in touch with all, if I haven't please get in touch.
The build is just about ready to go. I'm just waiting on the Azure instance to finish deploying and then it's all ready to go. So hopefully will be sending out the build some time tomorrow to the people I have heard from.
If you still need someone, I'd be interested.
I have numerous unlocked phones (HD7, Quantum, Focus, Mozart...)
Once again thanks for all the offers.
I've currently running a very limited beta with 2 people (big thanks to calum and and Neil) if that all goes well I will get in touch with more people to expand.
Fingers crossed it goes well!

I purchased an unlocked Ty tn II and can't get it to do what I want. ie 10 sleep mode won't go away, etc, etc.. It's taking too much of my time to trouble shoot. I live in Evanston, Illinois and wondering if anyone wants to help me. I prefer some that is a senor contributor here has the same phone and already knows what to do. Thanks. Steve
For being so picky as to who helps you, I sure hope you are willing to pay them . . . . .
You would be extremely surprised as to how much "Non-Senior" members know about our devices
Anyway, goodluck and have fun here on XDA. Just remember to ALWAYS use the search button in this forum.
I can tell you that HTC just released an update for the KAISER/TILT on their site. This has to deal with the issue of the power settings not staying where they should be at. Check it out at HTC America under product support and then under TILT. This may help...

WTF???
This site is called "XDA DEVELOPERS", not "XDA spoon-feed those to busy, lazy or stupid to work things out for themselves".
How come noobs are getting worse or lazier? There now seem to be a few of these "I want someone else to do it for me" threads. I guess I now know where the sacked Lehman Brothers employees have gone.

WOW!!! What a nice first post, you really contributed by starting this thread. When I first started here I was scared about flashing. But I read and figured it out on MY OWN, such as life.
Mea Culpa-- Still would like programing assistance
I want to apologize to anyone I've offended by my post. I have been reading this site for some time now. I am in awe of the things that many of you have been able to accomplish with these phones and the programing. It is amazing. My complements to all contributors and inquirers alike, I find both helpful.
However my area of expertise is not in programing such phones. Just as clients come to me for marketing services, I too was willing to pay for some programing expertise. In these tough economic times, I thought it would be a welcomed opportunity. And yes, I am willing to try anyone that knows what they are doing, e.g. junior or senior contributor.
I did read about the Tilt upgrade thank you, but I read on the ATT site that it wasn't working. Additionally, when I go to the download screen at HTC the download button is not on my computer screen. I can see it in the print preview, but not on the screen. I installed Kaiser tweaks and that didn't do it either.
So, I gave it a good first shot, and not that I am throwing in the towel, but it seems to me a great opportunity for the right person. I don't just want to fix the current problems, I want to keep going and install some of these great programs and perhaps a new OS. Take care and keep up the good work.
Chicago Developer Wanted to Fix tytn II
Please send private message if you would like to fix my phone as previously posted in this thread. Will donate or pay outright to fix and update to latest ROM.
Thanks.
I just came across this wonderful app that provides a native facebook client for android.
Tha app has been out for just 2 days and already is receiving great support from its developer with constant updates as new features are implemented and bugs are ironed out.
Although its a paid app the developer has been kind enough to provide an alternative method of purchasing the app to those that don't have access to google's paid market through slideme.org.
The app costs $1.49 and I can say its well worth every penny. I have been using it since morning with no problems what so ever.
The developer its quite active and promises new features with future releases. For more details refer to his blog: http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/
I believe we should support such developers that put a lot of effort in providing android with such great apps.
Can't make comments in Chinese It sends them in garbage code. Refunded.
EDIT: It reads them fine, just can't REPLY.
i cant see it in the market yet.....can anyone provide a down load link for bloo?
I love how the OP wrote as if he wasn't the author of the app... which he is. At least be honest and say you're plugging your own app!
It looks good, and I'm definitely going to pick it up soon, so there's no need to be sneaky.
I purchased it yesterday, and I think its great. But is it only me, or does it load The Feed slow, even on wireless?
can someone pls give me a link from when i can get this bloo?
its not there in the market,im in india...

Who all currently has a google wave account? I am working on a project using Wave on the G1 and wanted to know how many people are using it. Don't want to release too many details about the project yet but if you use wave post here. Will be releasing more details here in the next few days when I am finished finalizing it.
Im using it.
I have an account.
Just curious what is your current main use of it? I will be putting in Speech to Text to make it easier to use from the phone.
yep
I have an account as well. Not many of my friends use it much right now, but those that do I just use it for written communication mostly.
Same here, currently only a limited number of my friends use it. Those that do use it are the ones that work on android projects with me. We have been using it to discuss ideas for our apps so that we have a well written record of what we want.
I'm on it.
Just got my invite yesterday.
*Raises hand*
I have an account
I am using it and know 3 other Android users that are as well.
I'm using it too.... Wait don't have an account yet. Bet rest assured once I get my invite I'll be all over it as well.
i have an account and logged in once...
i dont understand how it works :S
I still need an invite if anyone has one to spare!
any chance someone with their hand raised would throw an invite my way?
email = http://scr.im/1wwu
Thanks in advanced if anyone does.
I have a couple invites left and will give them out to select people. PM Me if you need an invite.
i got one too
A big thank you to whomever sent me the invite! Im online and rocking now and looking forward to see how I can use this to help with all my themes and mods!
I have Google Wave but has no friends to use it with...
Anyone who wants to follow my themes is more than welcome to add me as a contact with brandenk[at]gmail[dot]com
Does anyone mind giving me an invite? i've been looking for one for awhile now
well i've been searching around n found no answer. is there any way to get involved in this beta? or is it like a closed press only type of beta? i have seen many videos on it n i just wanna get my hands on it! of course since its probably against the rules to post the direct apk, anyone know how to get in on this or is it strictly closed? also....if you have the actual beta, no harm in DMing me the apk
bitbop beta
Hi, letting you know that the beta is associated with specific accounts so even if you have the apk file you will not be able to use the app without a valid Bitbop account. Please follow us on twitter twitter.com/bitbop and contact me at beta at bitbop dot com and we can get you set up. Thanks Paula
Paula,
I signed up for the BitBop service now that it is released but saw that there is no tablet support. I have sent customer service an email about it but have not heard back. I was able to load the app for my phone (Droid X) but would really prefer to use the app on my tablet (Viewsonic G Tablet - running VEGAn 1.0 beta 5.1 - froyo) since it has a much bigger screen. I see this is an old thread but was hoping you would still get this post.
Hi sjmoreno, I am sorry, at this time we do not support your Viewsonic G Tablet. Let me know if I can help you with anything else, thanks Paula
Thanks Paula for the response. Can you tell me if your company is planning on supporting tablets in the future and if so what type of timeline and devices?
Name: Back Burner
We are a new application company, and this is one of the first two applications we have released. Currently it's a bare-bones Read it later client. I have a bunch of updates in the works, and a pro version with even more functionality. Right now I'm just trying to gauge interest in the platform. If you have any comments don't hesitate to let me know!
Thank You,

I'm new so I can't post links, just replace the xttp with a http, or copy the link after!
Nice name!
Just wondering how it will work? Is it a RSS app or Google Reader app?
Whatever it is, it's definitely nice. Thanks.
Just found this app the other day and was glad I did since I miss using read it later on my hd2 and also had chrome to phone. The app works fine, but wish you could delete the links after using them. But, I'm just glad to have it
Updates
Thanks for the support!
I definitely have some updates planned. I want to add list manipulation, as well as text views and page saving. Look in the coming weeks for some updates.
Thanks for sharing!
